Go inside the world of cults

Mystery. Manipulation. Murder. Cults are associated with all of these things. But what really goes on inside them? More specifically, what goes on inside the minds of cult leaders and the people who join them? Based on the hit podcast Cults, this is essential reading for any true crime fan.

The links that connect the notorious figures profiled in Cults—from Manson to Applewhite, Koresh to Raël—are equally disturbing and stunning. However, this spellbinding book is more than just a compilation of grisly biographies. It's also a study of humanity, an unflinching look at what happens when the most vulnerable recesses of the mind are manipulated and how the things we hold most sacred can be twisted into the lowest form of malevolence.
